They say never judge a book by it’s cover … but these days some book covers are just so stunning it’s really tempting to.  Since I happen to love books and art I’ve become quite obsessed with drop dead gorgeous book covers.  Of course I still have to be interested in the story but then again…

Every night you’ll usually find me reading until 2 am with a couple of cats tucked under the covers and Brandon snoozing away.  Brandon reads too – but he’s more interested in Jules Verne adventures, pirates, photography, and books that do not feature apples or floating bracelets on the cover.

1. Twilight – oh my Twilight. how I love thee. I already loved vampires (big Anne Rice fan) and this was just good fun.  The cover = yummy.

2.  The Lovely Bones - now a movie (which I really want to go see) and apparently it needed a new cover to go with it (yuck!) but the original cover has always been awesome.  I loved this book from the very first sentence to the end – it’s a captivating and heartbreaking story.

3.  Her Fearful Symmetry – I have not read this book yet because I still have a love/hate relationship with The Time Traveler’s wife.  But it keeps winking at me when I’m in the bookstore.  The cover is very cool.  Still not ready to make a commitment.  Yes, I have issues.

4.  Shiver - what I’m reading right now.  No, it’s not Twilight.  Yes, there are werewolves.  So far I’m intrigued with the cover and the story.

5.  Skinny – the cover lured me in (with ice cream no less.)  Skinny tells the story of a young woman who suffers from anorexia.  It’s realistic and tragic.

6.  The Dark Divine - I haven’t read this yet either – but the cover oh… and the story sounds interesting too.
